Recent Filibuster
Against FEPC
Called Puny
WASHINGTON — When the
southern filibuster against a
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission ended in the Senate,
an old doorman was heard to
remark.
“This here filibuster wasn’t
like they used to be.”
Ungrammatically, but pointed,
ly, he expressed the opinion pre
valent on Capitol Hill that fil
ibusters today “ain't what they
used to be.”
Old timers sadly shake their
heads and express fears that the

his stomach, intestines, bowels
and whole system were so thor

headaches came to an end, sev
eral pimply skin eruptions on his
face dried up overnight, and even
the rheumatic pains in his knee
disappeared. At present he is an
altogether different man, feeling
fine in every way.

gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable

FROM
WASHINGTON
I By A. SIDNEY CAMP I
Congressman - 4th District
Capitol Hill
Washington, D. C.
March 23, 1946
My dear Constituents:
The cherry blossoms are here.
The warm weather of the past
two days has brought the thous
ands of Japanese cherry trees
along the backs of the tidal bas.;
in into full bloom and that area
is today a riot of color and frag,
rance. The flowers are larger,
brighter and more fragrant than ,
I have ever seen them. Many.
years frost comes just as the j
blossoms begin to open and mars
their beautiy and color, but this
time they have escaped the frost.
The Committees of Congress
are busy on important hearings.
Perhaps the most interest cent
ers around the hearings before
the Committee on Banking and
Currency on the question of the
extension of the Office of Price
Administration. There is great
pressure on the Congress by
manufacturers to abolish the
OPA. Retailers and citizens gen
erally seem to want price con
trol continued until the produc
tion of needed articles some
what nears the demand. Many
retailers remember their exper
ience in the years immediately
after the first world war when
prices went sky high. The con
trol of prices is the most dis-
ficult job undertaken during the
emergency. It seems to be next
to impossible to administer the
Act impartially and equitably
to all. There may be some lim.
itations and restrictions placed
on OPA if the Act is continu
ued.
Much interest centers around
the bill pending before the Mil
itary Affairs Committee to con
tinue the Selective or Draft Act
another year after its expiration
date on May 15th. The Army
and Navy are urging that this
be done. I do not believe the
Congress as a whole favors the
continuation of the draft.
The Committee on Ways and
Means has under consideration
amendments to the Social Secu
rity Act—also the Phillippine
Trade Bill.
All these matters are of vital
importance.
Sincerely,
A. Sidney Camp, M. C.
Filibusierers Were
Rugged In The
Good Old Days
weeks, from Jan. 17 to Feb. 9,
but speakers operated in relays
and about the longest speech
made was that of Senator Rich
ard B. Russell (D) of Georgia
who spoke only 4 1/2 hours.
In addition, the filibuster a
gainst the AFPC was conducted
in a very genteel manner with
nothing of Ihe rough-and-tum
ble tactics of the old gladiators.
The filibusters were permitted to
resume their seats between 4:30
to 6 p. in., eat a good paeal, get
a good night’s rest, and resume
the next day, revitalized and
refreshed.
In the old days the Senate re
| mained in session all night ana
! simply wore out a filibuster
I member. Senator Wayne J.
Morse (Republican), of Oregon,
proposed similar treatment for
■ the FEPC filibuster but the
thought of all-night sessions
evoked little enthusiasm among
his colleagues.
Years ago, the Senate refus
ed to compromise on filibusters.
When the late Senator William
Allen of Nebraska took the floor
in 1893 to talk against repeal of
the silver tax purchase clause in
the Sherman Act, he spoke al
most continuously for 14 hours.
45 minutes. Allen employed
black coffee to keep awake.
Today, filibusters, such as that
against the FEPC, end in a com
promise. Southern opponents of
FEPC agreed to permit the Sen
ate to vote on cloture with the
understanding that the FEPC
bill would be withdrawn if the
motion to limit debate lost.
Similarly, the 1944 filibuster
against anti-poll tax legislation
ended—with equal success for
the filibusters—when a move
for cloture failed.

Arnall Warns Senators
Against Bullwinkle Bill
Holding that “Georgia will win
her freight-rate case if the rules
of the games are not changed,”
Governor Ellis Arnall appeared
before a Senate committee in
Washington this week in oppos
ition to the Bulwinkle Bill,
which he regards as an effort
to alter the rules of the game
to prevent victory.
“The railroads,” he said,
“having despaired of winning
the case in the courts, are now
trying to ‘sneak’ the in
famous ‘Bullwinkle Bill’
through Congress. “If the bill
becomes law, it will exempt the
railroads and the transportation
industry from the antitrust laws;
it will enable the Northern
railroad ownership to continue
their ‘swindle’ against the peo
ple of the South and West; it
will establish a principle of law
that antitrust laws are meant
only for the weak and defense
less; that the biggest coropora
tion in America, because it is
big, is exempt from violation
of law whereas little fellows
are subject to it.”

Pennington, and Miss Dorothy

QNLY A FEW years are needed for a baby pine to grow into a tree eight
inches in diameter. Only ] 3 eight-inch trees are needed to make
a eord of pulpwood ... and each cord of pulpwood means income
for a farmer, a woodsman, a trucker, and for mill and factory workers.
Forest fires in the Southeast destroy more wood each year than is
used by all of the pulpmills together. If timberland owners could
slop fires and sell the wood that now goes up in Bmoke they could
double their income from forest land.
Fire protection, which averages only a few cents per acre per year,
does notX-ost money—lT SAVES MONEY.
For full information about forest fire protection consult your
County and Stale foresters.
